Hollow Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Turning in circles, slowing down
Pulling against a closing-out
Easy to feed off a weaker thing
Harder to say what I really mean


[Chorus]
Hollow as a mountain
All tunneled and drilled below
Hollow as a mountain
Crowned with a cold, blue sky

[Verse 2]
All of your colors turn to grey
Don't even matter anyway
Bleeding impressions where you were tied
Can't really say how you lost your mind

[Chorus]
Hollow as a mountain
All tunneled and drilled below
Hollow as a mountain
Crowned with a cold
Hollow as a mountain
All tunneled and drilled below
Hollow as a mountain
Crowned with a cold, blue sky
[Post-Chorus]
Silence so loud
Silence, I can't tell my up from down
Silence so loud
Silence, I can't tell my up from down

[Verse 3]
All of the faces life can show
Withered and ugly, the one you know

[Chorus]
Hollow as a mountain
All tunneled and drilled below
Hollow as a mountain
Crowned with a cold, blue sky

[Post-Chorus]
Silence so loud
Silence, I can't tell my up from down
Silence so loud
Silence, I can't tell my up from down

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
